The House of Eustolius was built on the remains of an earlier Roman hall towards the end of the 4th century. It served as public baths for the community and took its name from its benefactor, the aristocrat Eustolius.

The House of Eustolius boasts some of the most beautiful and best preserved mosaics of the Roman era in Cyprus.

You will find three places at Kourion with mosaics from the 3rd and 4th century AD that are rather impressive and well preserved: The House of the Gladiators, The House of Achilles and The House of Eustolius.

On each one of them you will find information signs explaining their content and historic relevance in both Greek and English, so you can take your time reading them and correlating them to their subjects.

Almost all the site is wheelchair accessible: small bridges and passageways (Kourion site´s western part can be accessed via a special entrance that can be opened by the site´s guards). Special parking space and special rest rooms available (marked).

Look Out For:

• The whole archaeological area of Kourion attracts lots of visitors, so it is recommended to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon if you wish to avoid the crowds

• Wear comfortable shoes and have a bottle of water with you if visiting in the summer months, as the site is rather large and there is some walking and climbing involved

• You will need about two hours if you wish to visit the entire complex
